(Not) Playing Fair

Whenever I find myself indulging my need to be jealous, I remind myself that if I am going to choose . . . to wish I could have someone else's blessings, . . . . I have to also be willing to be "jealous" of the problems and angsts and irritations and disappointments that come with every blessing.

But no, Jealousy is very selective (not to mention, unrealistic). She only wants the up-side of the situation and then pounds the "jealous one" with half truths and Look-What-You-Don't-Have's. Chances are, if Jealousy told the truth and played fair, we wouldn't be "jealous" at all and then Jealousy would cease to exist. Hmmmm, maybe that is why She doesn't tell the truth.
